Ethan Miller/Getty Images It was reported yesterday that BYU starting center Brandon Davies was let go from the team for the remainder of the season for violating Brigham Young's honor code.
Today, 1280 The Zone in Salt Lake City is reporting that Davies' girlfriend is pregnant with his child. The honor code does not allow sexual relationships unless you are married, among a hefty list of other rules.
Davies is averaging 11.1 points per game and a team-high 6.2 rebounds, and not having him available for the NCAA tournament will be a major issue for Mr. Fredette and the Cougars.
If and when they meet up with a big-six conference powerhouse, they will need everything they have down low to bang against the other teams' centers.
BYU's backup centers have not played many meaningful minutes this season and expecting them to do so this late into the season is asking a little too much.
Their sophomore forward, Stephen Rogers, is averaging 4.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in an average of 10 minutes per game. The Cougars' freshman 6'10'' forward/center James Anderson is averaging one point and one-and-a-half rebounds per game in seven minutes of action.
A plan to go with a smaller lineup and to speed their game up more than usual is what BYU is planning on doing with the Davies absence, according to unnamed sources.
Getting away with not having your starting center might fly against the lower seeds, but this all but guarantees they are not going to be able to make a run as deep as many experts have been predicting.
This will also affect their potential seeding in the big dance. As of now they are a projected No. 1 seed, but without one of their key players, the Cougars may fall as low as a No. 3 seed, making the road to the Final Four that much more difficult
Mormonism hijacks the name of Christ to bolster its false doctrine and yes I can judge that.
Galatians 1:6-9
And in your universe, would not the world be a better place if the false relgions were banned from practice?
And in this world you are a liberal who knows nothing.
“God decides what religion is false.” Bingo.
“And in this world you are a liberal who knows nothing.”
Good dodge of the question.
reading your posts here rennes, I don’t think you have a clue as to what defines Christianity versus other religions.
Is there only one TRUE God, or are there uncounted billions of true gods?
Is the Bible the revealed word of God, or just one of many philosophical books on religion.
Did Jesus make the exclusive claim of being the ONLY way to heaven or is he just one of many.
I don’t think you have a clue.
Ironic screen name though.
How is Paul's warning a dodge?
Whose god?
You said: Drgonblustar said Mormonism is a false relgion. Who decides wha religion is false and what is true
And I said: Mormonism hijacks the name of Christ to bolster its false doctrine and yes I can judge that.
Galatians 1:6-9
No Other Gospel
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse!
Why are you dodging Paul's warning in Galatians?
There is no historical or archeological evidence to prove that the Nephite or the Lamanites ever existed. And if that's the case, it blows a huge hole in Mormonism.
But don't believe me, call the Smithsonian or the Louvre in France and ask for the Nephite or Lamanite exhibits.
In God's Word, there is a clear description of what a false religion is. mormonISM is a false religion.
This is a political forum. The issue here is Christians are politically biased against Mormons based on religion. And don’t give the issues excuse. If Romney were as conservative as Demint, you would reject him based on his “poor judgement”.
Give them freedom of religion and speech, just don’t give them any power, regardless of competency.
Shameful and un-American.
Uuuuuuh, look again rennes - this is called the RELIGION Forum for a reason.
AFA romney is concerned - he has been judged here on the basis of his POLICIES (such as romneycare, etc). The fact that he believes he will become a god doesn't help his case.
Unamerican to want to deny some people any POWER. In romney's case - his 'competency' was proven by his romneycare and prohomosexual agenda as Mass. Gov. I want to deny all demoncrats any kind of POWER - particularly 0bama. Call that unamerican you troll.
I really wish people who support Romney would just say it, instead of the idiotic dance they do about “you hate him because he is mormon”. I don’t hate him. I oppose Romney because he is a stink’n liberal. No liberal should have any power, ever.
Yes, its normally been the mormons to bring up romney’s mormonism as there ‘defense’ of him - not his RINO politics.
It is OBVIOUS that you have no CLUE as to what VOWS Mormons take in their Temples.
Why is it then that we 'christians' do not rail against OTHER politicians that are NOT christian?
So you would support a conservative Mormon?
It would depend if their conservatism was as mine.
Of all the mormons on the federal level, I would say none are conservative. If you are a Romney supporter just say so.
